* As thousands of protestors gathered outside the parliament building, Greek lawmakers approved a package of austerity measures needed to secure a bailout of 6.8 billion euro (almost $9 billion)

RUSSIA

* Prosecutors on Thursday asked a Russian court to temporarily release opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who earlier that day had been sentenced to five years in prison on embezzlement charge he denounced as politically motivated

* Several so-called mitzvah-mobiles, each carrying three rabbis, set out from Moscow on Thursday to reach Russian Jews in areas where, “unfortunately, they know little about Judaism,” Russia’s chief rabbi said
